Prevent disasters by taking regular care of your skin with our deep-cleansing, nutrient-rich blueberry mask. The little blue bulbs are packed with vitamins, and blended into calamine, rose absolute and chamomile blue oil to soothe redness, irritation and cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. This one is wonderfully soothing on sensitive skin. Treat your face to Catastrophe Cosmetic as often as you can to keep your skin looking its best.

Features

Gentle enough for everyone: Catastrophe is one of our best-selling masks because it’s gentle on all skin types.

Local matters: We buy our blueberries for Catastrophe Cosmetic from a local farmer here in British Columbia.

Calm catastrophes: We use calamine powder for its calming and soothing effect. Use often for a smart skincare routine.

"By far my favorite fresh face mask from lush! I have very oily skin and I tend to get clogged pores often. I love doing this face mask at least once a week to clear and soothe my skin. It smells so delicious too!"

How to use

Cleanse your face and pat dry. Smooth a good dollop of Fresh Face Mask over your entire face, making sure to avoid the eyes and mouth. Leave the mask on for about ten minutes (do not let the mask dry completely). Now is a good time to read the latest LUSH Times! And finally, wash off with warm water and follow with your favorite toner and moisturizer.

A:

I would recommend this for teenagers, me being one, but I think it would work with any age.

Hi there! Thanks for your question!Yes I would recommend always wetting your face before using a mask or a cleanser, so it will grab a hold of your skin better :)Hope this helps =]

Q:

Hi, I've asked my parents to bring me some LUSH goodies from Italy this weekend since we don't have it here in Greece. Say they're buying Catastrophe Cosmetic on Monday, refrigerate it till Tuesday and then fly back home on a two hour flight (plus the extra time waiting at both airports)...will it survive these few hours out of the fridge and the flight in general? Thank you in advance!

Yes, this mask can be used on your face if it is both sensitive and oily. There are a number of ingredients that will work to help combat the oiliness as well be gentle enough for your sensitivities.

A:

Yes it can! I have very oily skin and get irritated rather easily, but I have had no problems with irritation or grease with the Catastrophe Cosmetic. If you really want something to help the oils on your face, I would also recommend the Love Lettuce, it just eats up all that oil!

Q:

I've used this mask twice and it's made my breakouts worse. Is this normal?

The first few times you use this mask you may notice break-outs. Our masks reach very deep into your pores to pull out all the dirt and debris located there, so until your face gets used to this, you might have some breakouts. However, after a few uses, your face should adjust, and the benefits of the mask will be much more apparent.

Q:

My mask has passed the expiration date but I have kept it in my fridge the entire time and not yet opened it. Is it still ok to use since it has not been opened it or does it expire right on the expiration date regardless of if it has been opened?

With all our fresh face masks, we do not add any preservatives to them, so it's recommended that you use it before it's expiration date, even if it hasn't been opened. You should also be keeping this item refrigerated at all times.

The Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask does not contain any preservative ingredients, so we do not recommend that you use it after the "Use By" date, even if it is unopened.

Q:

Unlike other face masks I've tried, Catastrophe Cosmetic seems to be a thick, creamy texture than a liquidy texture. Is it supposed to be like that?

Our fresh masks do vary in texture as they are made with different ingredients,so some may be thicker than others.Catastrophe Cosmetic is indeed one of our thicker face masks as it's made with fresh blueberries among the other ingredients.

Q:

If I use this product but not all of it, can I put it back in the fridge and save it for later?

All of our fresh face masks have a three week shelf life on them, and both the "made on" and "use by" dates are marked on the face stickers on the bottom of the pot. Each pot should give you about three or four uses, and is fine to use until its expiration date!

Answered on 8/20/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:

Yes! You should get a few uses out of each container, I usually use my masks about 4 times. Just make sure that you use it all up before the expiration date.

Q:

How long can you store it in your refrigerator before it goes bad?

Asked on 11/30/2012 by Amber can swear by and love lush from Roseville, CA

I would not recommend keeping this product out of the refrigerator at all, because it does not contain any preservative ingredients. To use it, you can take it out to apply, but be sure to pop it back in the fridge right away.

Q:

Is catastrophe cosmetic gentle enough to use daily or should I only use it a few times a week? or even just once a week?
